Paschal dress

Holy Father John XXIII in a Paschal choir dress: white slippers, stole and mozzetta. Only camerino, practically unused by his predecessors, remained in its usual red colour. Popes dressed completely in white throughout the entire Octave of Our Lord’s Resurrection, which expressed a special joy and emphasized the significance of the most important feast of Christianity.

And whom did it bother?

We ask the question to which we don’t expect a response: we know this response, because we know all possible questions and all responses; if we nevertheless ask them, it’s because someone needs to ask this question, so that someone other could response himself to it.
